Check out the Astribot S1 in this video.
Then check out the headlines that have been written about it:
- Freak robot made in China can learn, think, work like humans
- Chinese Robot Maker Creates Humanoid Robot that Can Do Almost All Human Tasks. It can think like a real human being.
- Video of super-fast, super-smooth humanoid robot will drop your jaw

- Chinese startup demonstrates robot that could do your chores

Stardust Intelligence, the Shenzhen-based makers of Astribot, have done a great job. This humanoid robot can actually fold a shirt, using a clever move known as “the Pinch Method.”
- Granted, the robot can’t do it in two seconds, but Astribot is still the best clothing-folding robot we’ve ever seen. We’re not going to call it a freak. (Some of those headlines are just rude.)

Humanoid or not?
- Astribot is not exactly humanoid, since it is not bipedal. The video doesn’t answer all our questions, but we definitely want to see more.
